South Carlsbad State Beach engagement portraits by Vallentyne Photography.
It was such a beautiful sunset evening for engagement photos on the beach! This beautiful couple flew in from Arizona for their engagement photos and we couldn’t have gotten a more beautiful evening and sunset. The light was so soft and I love how much their love for each other shows in these photos. Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

If there’s one thing I love about working with incredible people like Christine, it’s seeing their vision come to life! 🌿✨
For the second half of her personal branding session, we brought her inspiring ideas to the farmers market and the beach—a perfect backdrop for her vibrant, health-focused coaching business. 🥕🌊
The farmers market was buzzing with color and energy, just like her! We captured her love for nourishing, whole foods and the joy she brings to healthy living. And the beach? It was the ideal spot to reflect her calm, grounded spirit and the balance she helps her clients achieve. 🌾🌞
This session was as inspiring as the woman herself. It’s clear that she is not just a health coach; she’s a light, guiding others toward vibrant, mindful living. 💛

Honored doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt photographing this personal branding session for my amazing friend and health coach, Christine! 💛
Not only is she an inspiring coach, but she`s also someone I’ve shared so many yoga practices with—a truly beautiful soul inside and out. Her energy radiates warmth, positivity, and a passion for helping others live healthier, more mindful lives.
This session was all about capturing her essence: grounded, authentic, and vibrant. It was a privilege to create images that reflect her heart and her mission for her new coaching business. 🧘♀️✨
Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll share even more of her story and some of my favorite moments from our time together! 💫 @christinefoerster
🎉✨ New Year, Same Wonderful You! ✨🎉
Ah, resolutions. This year, I’m aiming for the usual: eat better (while still indulging in dessert), exercise more (does chasing the kids count?), and spend less time scrolling (except for sharing sweet family moments like yours). 😅
But here’s the one resolution I know I’ll keep: spending more time with the people I love and capturing memories that make life so special. 🥰 Let’s make 2025 the year of more hugs, more laughter, and more meaningful moments—together.
What’s your most ambitious (or hilarious) resolution this year? Drop it in the comments and let’s inspire each other to aim high… or laugh about trying! 😉

✨🎉 Tomorrow is the 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 day of the year—can you believe it?! 🎉✨
Before we say goodbye to 2024, let’s take a moment to soak in all the memories, the lessons, and the love this year brought us. 💕 Whether it was big milestones or small, quiet moments, every bit of it mattered.
So, here’s the big question: Who will you be spending the final hours of the year with? 🥂🎇 Whether it’s your family, your friends, or a cozy night in with your favorite people (and maybe a pizza), I hope it’s filled with love and laughter.
Drop a comment and let me know your NYE plans—bonus points if they involve comfy slippers or sparkly hats. 😉
🎁✨ I hope your Christmas was merry, bright, and full of love! Whether you spent it surrounded by family, cozied up with your favorite holiday movie, or sneaking an extra cookie (or three), I hope it was everything you wished for. 💫
What was the highlight of your Christmas this year? Share your favorite moments in the comments—I’d love to hear! ❤
